Vi har inte hört så mycket om vad Shane Carwin tyckte om hans möte med Brock Lesnar på UFC 116 ännu. Han var inte med på presskonferensen efter galan då han var tvungen att åka till sjukhuset. Han lugnade oss alla senare via sin twitter där han berättade att inget allvarligt hade hänt honom, utan det bara var en rutinkontroll.
Men vi undrade så klart. Carwin hade tappat styrkan totalt i andra ronden och i en bloggpost berättar han vad som hände, och hur han själv uppfattade matchen.
I appreciate the outpouring of support and everyone who showed up at The Foundation Room last night after the fight. You guys know how to make a man feel like a winner even on his lowest of days. I really do want to thank #TeamCarwin. You guys pushed me up this mountain and many of you have
been with me for a long time. I will need your help to climb back to the top so I appreciate you standing by me.The game plan last night was to be patient and let the fight come to you. When I had him in trouble the ref keep saying he was going to stop it and then towards the end of the 1st my body began to seize up. In between rounds I could not move my legs and had what felt like a whole body cramp. My cardio was fine but my body was not. What can you do? You have to stand up and face your opponent.Heading into the second I knew I need to finish the fight or I was going to be in trouble. Much like the Champion he is I am sure Brock was thinking the same thing. I had zero take down defense as my legs were dead to me and the rest is as they say history.
Brock was a good guy through this entire fight. He did not talk a bunch of smack and he fought like a warrior. He did what he needed to do to keep his belt and that is what being a Champion is all about. I am going to have to claw my way back to the top but I wouldn’t want it any other way. I know I belong
with the very best; all I need to do is prove it again.Loosing is what happens on the way to winning. I will be back and better from the lessons learned in this fight.
Thank you to my Coaches, Sponsors, Manager, Family, Friends and Fans.
